We are glad to announce, that we’ve just opened an Early Access Program for TeamCity 5.1.

Here’s the short list of only some of the improvements and features that today’s EAP brings:

• Customizable email notifications — now you can use FreeMarker templates to create your custom notification messages.
• Several UI improvements, such as collapsible projects on overview page and the most voted one — the ability to specify time zone, which is handy for geographically dispersed teams.
• New Current problems tab is added for a project, that shows which tests are currently failing in this project and which configurations are red.
• Support for .NET 4.0, and not yet released Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2010.
• Improved support for .NET test frameworks.
• Code coverage support for Maven runner.
• Ability to produce zip and tar.gz artifacts from a bunch of files.
• IDE integration plugins improved.
• read more…

View the detailed release notes, download the build and stay tuned — TeamCity 5.1 won’t take long to appear.

By tradition, we remind you to back up your data before upgrade.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Sincerely,
JetBrains TeamCity team.

If you have ever dealt with .NET code coverage for NUnit tests, you surely know that it is quite a tricky thing to configure: you need to read docs to properly set up launching a command line coverage tool in your build script; read more docs and configure how reports should be gathered; then read docs again and specify all the needed arguments to be passed… well, not a task anyone would like to deal with.

Now imagine that you can forget all that tangled routine and spend more time doing whatever you like. That’s because starting with TeamCity 5.0 configuring coverage execution with NUnit becomes easy as pie.

All you need to do is to select the preferred coverage tool when creating or editing Build Configuration — NCover and PartCover are at your disposal; and specify its parameters. That’s it!

Just a few clicks to make TeamCity automatically add necessary arguments to NUnit tests, and ensure you’ll be able to view the results in the TeamCity. Enjoy!

Only a week ago we released TeamCity 5.0, but here we are again with news for those who use TeamCity 4.x and, for some reason or other, do not upgrade to the latest version.

We just released the TeamCity 4.5.6 with a couple of fixes and with a serious improvement: support for IntelliJ IDEA 9 (both Ultimate and Community editions) and RubyMine in the TeamCity’s plug-in for IDEA platform.

Check the complete Release notes and download the build. Please don’t forget to backup your data before upgrading.

By the way, now you can download any previous 4.x release build from here.

Build safe!

There is not much time left till the scheduled TeamCity 5.0 release and we’re forward looking to the final stage of development. The new EAP build contains some new features plus enhancements listed briefly below:

• Per-test responsibility. Now you can assign responsibility not only for the entire build crash, but for particular failed tests. Also, the new “Responsibilities” tab with currently taken responsibilities taken in a project is added to the project home page.
• New template-related actions: “Extract template” and “Create build configuration from template”. The first of these actions, “Extract template”, allows the user to create a new template from an existing build configuration. The second action allows creating new build configuration from an existing template. In both cases, build configuration is associated with a template automatically.
• Remote run for GIT in IntelliJ IDEA
• Support for <gant/> task in Ant build scripts
• Support for recognition of compilation errors output produced by <groovyc/> Ant task
• Git and Mercurial plugins are now bundled in TeamCity distribution
• and a bit more…
